Thursday in Bay St. Louis

Yesterday was a quiet day at home for us we just stayed around the campground reading books and visiting with neighbors.  We woke up to a beautiful sunrise over the Gulf.

No, this is not snow!  I took an evening walk on the beach.

And watched another beautiful sunset from the beach.

Today we went sightseeing. There were several fishing boats docked near the casino.

This was Janice's favorite boat. Notice the two extra boats on top.

Reminders of Katrina are everywhere. New houses next to supports from destroyed houses.

A pelican?

Empty lots are everywhere from destroyed houses.

We stopped at this old depot/visitors center/Mardi Gras museum.  There was an interesting display upstairs of the folk art of a local artist.

And downstairs was the display of Mardi Gras costumes.

We stopped at this cemetery which appeared to be the burial ground of  the brothers of an order of monks headquartered here at a Catholic college.

We stopped at a great restaurant for a late lunch and then went to the casino for awhile.  Our senior player cards give us five dollars free slot machine play each day.   A really enjoyable day!
